Welsh plasterer jailed after admitting to stirring up racial hatred online

A plasterer from north Wales, who admitted to stirring up racial hatred on Facebook, has been sentenced to 21 months in prison.

Daniel Kingsley, 33, from Shotton in Flintshire, posted two racist messages on social media on 8 and 10 August, in support of the riots.

During sentencing at Mold Crown Court Judge Rhys Rowlands described Kingsley as a “bigot” who holds “deeply offensive and racist views”.

Judge Rowlands expressed hopes this case would “stand as an example to any others thinking of inciting hatred”.

Defence solicitor Alexandra Carrier told the court Kingsley was “truly sorry for his actions” and “admitted to the offence as soon as the police arrived at his door”.
